How many schools have moved up into that world? They are already trying to take the Autobid from the AAC...There really isn't, nor will there ever be in a BCS system, a model where a team coming from FCS into FBS and be in an autobid BCS conference.

UCONN, but obviously that's a special situation.

UConn was already in the Big East for hoops, it was an easy jump when the big east was expanding to horn their way in, but now they are even trying to take the auto bid away from the AAC.

That being said their timing for getting a BCS bid was beyond amazing.

Your point is valid, however, the MAC is also a who's who of nobodies, as is the Sunbest, conf. USA, etc. I think the only conference I'd be remotely interested in is MWC and NDSU has a facility problem for that. As it is, I think it makes sense to see how the D1 shake up goes down, and have plans for FargoDome expansion when the opportunity strikes.

MWC falls into the who's who of nobody's also, outside of Boise St I bet half the country couldn't name all the schools in the league

Reusse also never gave too much praise to NDSU when they beat the Gophers. He mainly just talked about how bad the Gophers were.

I think folks have heard of Colorado and Colorado state. They also know UNLV from the old basketball runs. Thus, why the only conference NDSU should ever consider in the current model which can't happen with the current stadium.
